Brush fire danger high in NH

New Hampshire fire officials say brush fire conditions in the state have reached level four on a scale of one to five.

Officials at the Division of Forests and Lands say dry conditions have already resulted in numerous brush fires since last weekend, and more are expected.

Fire officials say homeowners should take precautions to protect their property from fire by clearing brush and vegetation away from structures, carefully disposing of woodstove ashes, and making sure their house number is clearly visible from the road if there's a fire.

Due to the very dry conditions, many communities may not allow any outdoor burning until conditions improve.
